Here comes the sun written by George Harrison for the 1969 Abbey Road album by The Beatles is one of those immediately recognisable songs that has stood and will continue to stand the test of time.
The famous guitar riff is fairly easy for a beginner to pickup and with the use of a Capo on the 7th Fret as George Harrison shows, the song is easy to play and sound like the real thing.
Check out the video that clearly show the use of the Capo on the fret:
To play along, remember to place your Capo on the 7th fret and follow the tablature below:
